order-certificate does not download challenges
IgelCampus opened this issue · 3 comments
When following the wiki tutorial acme_client does not download the challenge files when renewing a certificiate. I am running the following commands:
ACMECLIENT="java -jar acme_client.jar -w . --log-dir . --log-level TRACE"
$ACMECLIENT -a ./cert/account.key -c ./cert/$DOMAIN.csr --command order-certificate --well-known-dir ./challenge --one-dir-for-well-known
After the command acme_client returns {"status":"ok"} but the specified challenge directory is empty. The trace logfile is attached, but I cannot see any error listed
acme.log
.
You HTTP-1 challenge is verified and expires 2019-01-10 10:26:05. You can skip this step and go to the next one. Your authorization is also verified. For valid authorizations I've disabled a challenge downloading as there is no sense to validate them again. Notice, order-certificate command doesn't return challenges of valid authorizations. Authorizations may be valid already in some situations, even for new orders (depends on the CA provider).
Thank you for the clarification. Would it make sense to add this to the docs for order-certificate and the wiki page for renewing a certificate?
Yes, I think it makes sense. I will add this information a little bit later.
